With that kind of form, that dude is gonna get tired fast. No need to lift the blade up so high, he's just wasting energy. If your blade is properly sharpened, you don't even have to put any umph behind the stroke.

@30The train is fine.@25No need to lift the blade up so high, he's just wasting energy.

Also, skellies don't have muscles, so how can he even move? And what kind of skeleton would be so big compared to people? That thing is bigger than a megasaur! A scythe blade that big would collapse under its own weight. And a star can't appear inside the crescent of the moon, I know it looks like black sky, but it's actually just moon that is in shadow, and the stars are hundreds of light years away, and.....

Both girly girls and girly men cry when violence is used to defend people.

Why would they need or want sympathy? They are winning.

Conditions of winning= making more whites willing to be called racist. An unarmed black gets killed by cops every 28 hours and the best martyr they could find was beating up a liquor store clerk while he robbed him with the "hands up" witnesses participating on video 10 min before he put his DNA on a cops gun.

I came across a couple of very interesting and related articles ... I'm guessing I'm one of those that came across this website (fabiusmaximus.com) later than many ... actually found a couple of papers on 4GW.

The first is very interesting to me especially considering that it was written in November 2008 about two papers written by Fredo Arias-King (2003/2006).

Looking at the face of that reaper, it looks more like what Outlaw X used to call a sand monkey. Could be just me.In the original Jason and the Argonauts, the tall brass Titan used to scare me as a kid.

I find myself greatly looking forward to this fellow's work every week.

My toddler thought it was funny. But I'm pretty sure he has the evil gene.

It can be difficult to positively ID the evil gene at that age because every toddler will display certain characteristics. The true evil ones will disguise it until they become teenagers then it is hell on earth

The Horseman just love it when you notice. Last century was the first, this the second. If all ride when one rides, there is a preeminence, until the end. The clock can be reversed. Prayer. Lots of it. Only a delaying tactic. And yet, I think for the many, for the day, that is usually enough. If they know that is the way. Still, I don't think you all have it in you, not enough of you. And why do you suggest Europe? Insurrection, War, is everywhere. In the air, hearts, and minds. Foreigners, civilians, governments, a trifecta of poisoned secular thoughts. I do consider islam a secular institution, of course. And, maybe, the church close enough to being dead to fall.

11/13 - support France11/14 - NAMALT, don't be phobic11/15 - how dare you only care when whites are killed, pray for the whole world11/16 - being against more refugees actually HELPS ISIS

I can't wait for tomorrow's SJW narrative. I was about to say I am surprised we got a whole day of obligatory support, but then I realized this happened at night so there was about as much time as necessary to determine an accurate body count before the cries of Islamaphobia started.

You normally return the scythe the same path that it cut on the actual strike. The only artistic liberty here is that there is no reason to actually raise it that way. It would remain on the ground. But obviously a proper cut is about to be made, and a previous one has been done prior to returning it. Hence the blood on the blade.

white women are increasingly bearing Children of Color You guys are fucked (you're women literally!)

Who will feed the monkeys when the white man is gone? No white women will have children of color if there is no food stamps, unless raped. Outside of work I respond to "you know what they say once you go back" with "why would anyone want to become a single mom". Even if the children are smarter than blacks they are still at Dominican republic level cognizance.

the train is fine, Markku, the train is fine.

to all of you complaining about the inaccurate depiction ...

it's an image composition problem.

in order to portray the reaper using a 'proper grip and stance', you'd either have to widen the image ( creating dead space / requiring more filler ) or you'd have to obscure the blade behind the reaper / clutter up the image by superimposing the tool over the user.

also, the figure is more intimidating this way. it accentuates size and aggressive intent, much as a wild animal would fluff out it's fur or spread wings to appear as large and tall as possible. or a bear rearing up on it's hind legs. anatomically, the bear is more maneuverable and dangerous on all fours ... but even bears know they're more impressive up on their hind legs.

the same explanation applies to critiques of the blade orientation relative to the shaft: sure, you could draw it more 'anatomically correct'. but as currently drawn, the aspect ( and threat ) of the blade is maximized. if you rotate the blade aspect to 'proper', you would make the blade look thin and insubstantial.

this is partly why many cartoon figures are often drawn with only three fingers and a thumb. due to the limitations of line drawing, actually drawing four fingers usually makes the hand look too 'busy' unless a lot of attention is devoted to it.

Well, if you want to get all artfaggy, the scythe is used to both cut and collect. That's why it's shaped the way it is, and why it's used in a certain way. The Grim Reaper doesn't fling shit all willy-nilly--he reaps.

So, from a metaphor standpoint, the art missed a good opportunity. It's still a neat image, but anybody with a modicum of knowledge will assume that the artist acquired his primitive farming knowledge entirely from death metal album covers.
